There's been more changes since hacking with some people on IRC.

Sure, will fix.

I've commented out checking for Mesa and libdrm, as the script downloads them 
now anyway (you need Mesa HEAD and should have libdrm from CVS HEAD also).

We have two choices, download the newest version of libdrm and Mesa from CVS 
or check if the user's distribution has a recent enough version. Which is 
best?

I'll apply those bits that don't affect libdrm and Mesa til we sort out what 
to do there.

Well Debian Unstable has Mesa 6.5.x in experimental, Im not sure with Ubuntu I 
think you might be able to get a 6.5 package somewhere but it's not in 
Dapper.
